We'll go through spells where we're all happy and discussing things in a decent manner. But then something will happen and I was sure what it was when I remember seeing something up when those two left. Several discussions and the way they turned in the world thread is exactly why people like apple and lisa left though. Just seeing the name calling and other elementary level behavior in there alone is enough to turn anyone away. I know i'm not the best on controlling my cussing either, but I don't know, if some of that kind of stuff doesn't change I don't see any more reason that more people won't quit the forums.
I love it here but things like that are kinda turning me off...
Thanks.
I mentioned the chill on cussing since it usually leads to hostility especially when posting a direct reply to another member. A curse once in a RARE while to prove a point might be acceptable (Moderators please chime in), but then a solid post does not need that expletive. This Forum so much better then most trash talk sites due to the nature of most of the quality respectful posts.
